Publisher of authority

# The Research Program — research you can replay, not just read.

Most research asks you to trust the author. The Research Program publishes the way [KYE Protocol™](https://kyeprotocol.com/trust-layer/) governs everything else: every claim is pinned to a cited source, every report is evidence-sealed, and the whole thing is replay-verifiable from public keys alone. You, a regulator, or a journalist can check it without trusting us. Universities, labs, and institutes co-author through the KYE™ Publishing Authority Track™.

Governed research. No claim without a cited source.

## Research, governed like an action

The Research Program treats a published claim the way KYE Protocol™ treats a consequential action — it must be authorised by evidence before it ships. Each report runs an eight-stage rail: topic selection, governed source-gathering, synthesis under a no-hallucination gate, an [Evidence Pack™](https://kyeprotocol.com/evidence-pack/), an Ed25519 seal, a single render to web and PDF, distribution, and public-key verification. The result is concrete, not a vibe:

- **No claim without a source** — synthesis is gated; an unsourced sentence does not ship.
- **Evidence-sealed** — every edition carries a signed [Evidence Pack™](https://kyeprotocol.com/evidence-pack/), sealed over a published key.
- **Replay-Proof™** — a reader verifies the report against its sources from public keys alone, against NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and the EU AI Act™.

It is the same posture KYE Protocol™ sells to regulated buyers, turned on its own publishing — reporting on publicly-available facts, never legal advice, and never a fabricated claim. Today the library spans AI Legal Briefs™ and sector roadmaps across 249 frameworks.

## Co-author through the Publishing Authority Track™

If your team holds genuine domain authority — a university, a research institute, a lab, a think-tank, a standards body, or an academic press — you can co-publish governed research with KYE Protocol™ through the KYE™ Publishing Authority Track™, an invite-only track of the [KYE™ Sector Pack Foundry™](https://kyeprotocol.com/sector-pack-foundry/). Three tiers scale with how much you bring:

- **Scout** — a single co-authored edition: you supply the expertise, KYE Protocol™ supplies the governed rail and the evidence seal.
- **Build** — a cadenced series in your field, with a named editorial line and recurring evidence-sealed editions.
- **Venture** — a standing research line with revenue share, your authority and KYE Protocol™'s rail co-branded across the library.

Games and trade books are explicitly out of scope — this is for parties with ownable, defensible authority. Admission is application-reviewed; meeting the bar does not auto-grant a track.

## Publish authority, not opinion.

Whether you want to read governed research or co-author it, the bar is the same: every claim defensible, every report replayable. Start in the [library](https://kyeprotocol.com/library/), or bring your domain authority to the Publishing Authority Track™ and we will build a governed research line with you.
